I unfortunately got a flat tire this past weekend. After getting the tire fixed, the PSI indicator stated the correct PSI of my patched up tire. However, the next day it just showed the dotted line. I called Nissan and they informed me that I have to get my indicator reset to show my PSI on that tire again. I thought that it is crazy to have to take the car into Nissan everytime I get a flat tire just so the mechanics can use a tool to reset it. Has anyone else experienced this yet?

 

Took the car into Nissan and they said that when my tire was fixed by National Tire & Battery, they broke the PSI guage. Nissan is now ordering the new sensor which will cost around $380. Let's hope National Tire & Battery will reimburse me for the cost of the fix.

 

let all of know what happens, I am sure this subject will arise n the future, good luck.

 

Went over to NTB today to see if they would reimbursement me for the costly damage to the PSI sensor. They are currently going to research the issue. I talked with the manager and he stated that Nissan has not put out a bulletin on the proper way to fix the flat tire in order not to damage the sensor. He stated that the only car with the same type of sensor is the corvette and that no other car on the market (including high end mercedes and bmw's) do not have this type of sensor. If anyone has any knowledge in this area please let me know. Also, if anyone has the bulletin for patching a flat tire this would be a great help in my argument with NTB. I should hear something by early next week and will share with you all.

 

I just wanted to note that it goes off as soon as a tire goes under 28, but it would appear it resets itself when all 4 tires go above 32psi.

 

GOOD NEWS!!!!!

I'm finally getting the PSI sensor fixed today. After quite a few phone calls, NTB has agreed to pay for the damage that they had done including the reprograming. My Nissan dealership is fixing it.



So the lesson to be learned is to make sure that whoever fixes a flat tire (with the sensor) should know that there is a sensor similar to the corvette's.
